Generation Legacy Issue #12

"I came to you Tommy because I felt the UNJE had lost focus on the whole idea of Acocomodation between humans and Elites." Cassie says calmly. "Every day there seem to be more rules, regulations and restrictions for Elite indiviguals. I came to the institute because people like Paragon were for intergration and intercooperation. Now he's ..changed. I can't work with them." Cassie looks around, looking at the portal and Charlotte. "As it is, I get the feelign I'm sudenly as big a prisoner as Kelly will be if we go back."

Anika sighs. "You can't stay here, Cassie. Don't think of it as imprisonment. Surely Overseer knows you are key to defeating him. I think Paragon just wants to make sure he can't get at you. I'm sure of it," she says, sounding like she's trying to convince herself as much as Cassie.

"For hope to bloom, everyone must be free." Cassie says grimly. "I dont' see freedom in Paragon's vision of the future anymore." She looks around. "The troops are here in the room aren't they? The cloaked ones that we saw in Hong Kong?"

Kiyana looks grim, “I don’t understand what you are saying Cassie, Paragon has done nothing but help people. We have done nothing but help people? We are free, I don’t understand? Come back to the institute there really isn’t any other choice, we all want you to come back…”

Tommy just smiles, “A martyr in the making.”

"No Tommy.. after what you told me I might have been.. but if what the Red Witch showed me is true, I can't approach this in a negative way. " Cassie says as she looks to Kiyana. "Ask yourself what happened to my rights? Kelly's. I respect the intent that the institute was founded, it set it from the Pantheon. Intergration, cooperation and growth. Those were respectable goals. Tell me Kiyanna, honestly do we still hold to them? As for my complaint, I honestly don't have an answer for the situation with Overseer. Yet."

She looks to the portal grimly. "I am not the person I need to be. I need to grow, find a path that lets me resolve this." looks to the other elites. "Peacefully if possible."

Kiyana looks confused, “Huh? We save people, we are making the world better!”

Tommy laughs, “Cassandra, I must applaud you. I have not been amused like that in quite awhile. The fact that you fervently believe that makes this even more entertaining. But you do bring up a good point, just where does the goodwill of the UNJE end and the tyranny begin? Are you proposing to fight against the Beast or choose some misguided peaceful path?”

“Lambs that march peacefully towards the wolves still die in droves,” the brilliant youth adds.

"So you're saying we should simply lie down and stop trying TOmmy?" Cassie asks. "Why build this facility? I thought you did it in hopes of acheiving some sort of peace or balance things till we could find peace. I am sorry my nature pushes me to seek a higher, better path. We are gifted with talents above others, such as your intellect. With it should come the responsiblity to do greater good." She looks to Kiyana. "I envy you.. but I can't see things the way you do Kiyana." A glance back to Tommy as she continues. "Yoshi's death taught me that, but we must look beyond the orders and what we are told. We have to do our due diligence to ensure what we are doing is for the greater good. Is it really for the greater good to lock me up? Or to put Kelly behind bars rather than try and help her fix her problems? Even now, judging from Anika's face, my resolve clearly clashes with that of the UNJE. If I refuse to cooperate will they subdue me and deny me my rights as a US citizem? For the 'greater good?"

 

[Agamon]

Anika nods when asked about the troops. "Cassie, you're assuming a lot. None of us will let you or Kelly get locked up, okay? Neither of you have commited any crime worthy of being locked up. But staying at the institute, with us, your friends, might be the best choice for you right now, don't you think? For you, not the UN or anyone else."

"It's moot though isn't it? Anika, I don't have a choice anymore do I?" Cassie says simply. "And ask yourself this, will that make me more cooperative? I knwo who I am, and the way to fight Overseer is a lot more complicated than we thought. I know bits, but not enough yet. I don't know who I'm supposed to be, or how I should face him. He's striking out from a place of such.. anquish. No one who has lost someone could NOT see how he might have gotten there. I could have, with the death of Yoshi." Cassie stops, clearly unconfortable with revealing more.

Karen clenched her hands when she found out that there were invisible UN troops in the room with them to arrest Cassie and Kelly, the event of the day were quickly becoming too much for the teen to handle, "Did we really help Isabella and Billy, Kiyana? They seemed perfectly safe and happy in Brasil. The only real threat there were those cowboys with their invisible tank," she replies, doing her best not to sound angry, "And here they are again... Exactly the reason why I quit. The papers I got to join Legacy contained an entire paragraph about using lethal force only as a last resort. Yet it seems it's become more the rule than the exception..." she sighs tiredly, she stands behind Cassie, ready to jump in to protect her if any soldiers open fire.
